[SKY] Place a custom video to play on the Start Menu background

I've looked at the various custom start menu mods and from what I can tell the start menu is just an empty cell, and you can place meshes with static animations in it by overwriting the logo.nif file in the "..meshes/interface" folder.

 

This method is out of the question as I have found out even if you wanted to do something like creating the camera effect method where you have meshes(wallpaper/map) as many as the amount of frames in the video and have each mesh/frame animate away after the other to create the effect that a video is being displayed. This would amount to thousands of frames/meshes and so is impossible.

 

I directed my attention to the "startmenu.swf" located in the "data/interfaces/" folder as this seems to be the core of the start menu instead, I explored the contents with "Sothink SWF Decompiler" but unfortunately, this is where I came to a dead end as I did not have any experience in how I would go about editing the contents of this file to display a custom video of mine.

 

Is there anyone who has experience with this file? Is there any way to display a custom video in the background of the Start Menu?

 

The video will have no sound as the start menu music can be replaced.
